Damasteel’s martensitic stainless Damasteel® Nitrobe77™ is a powder based steel which solves two classical knife problems:
1. Sharp edges on chef knives. Damasteel® Nitrobe77™ is dishwasher safe without risk of corrosion or edge damages
2. Sharp edges on hunters knives. Can be forgotten in the sheath without the hunter being hit by self-reproach
The alloy represents an outstanding combination of corrosion resistance and edge strength. This combination of properties is a reason for its revolutionary suitability as knife material. Some other benefits with the Damasteel®Nitrobe77™ are:
* Nitrogen replaces Carbon as martensite initiator in the hardening process. This has given the steel radically improved corrosion properties. The final product is a unique combination of edge strength and corrosion resistance.
* It is made from Rapid Solidification Powder (RSP) to reduce the sizes and quantities of unfavorable solidification structures
* Alloyed with Chromium for corrosion resistance
* Niobium gives fine grain structures regardless of hardening temperature
